In order to ensure safe and efficient travel along Township owned roads, it has become necessary for the township to trim back vegetation. Beginning sometime in Late September, early October, South Londonderry Township will be conducting trimming operations to clear vegetation up to the edge of the roadway and to a height of 14 feet within the Township’s right of ways. This trimming is essential to maintain visibility, ensure road safety, and facilitate proper maintenance of our public thoroughfares.
We understand that many of you take pride in the landscaping around your properties. Therefore, we are providing this notification in advance. If you have vegetation that extends into the township's right-of-way and you prefer to manage its trimming yourself, please do so. This project has no official start date but is intended to begin sometime late in September, early October. Please ensure that all vegetation is trimmed back at minimum to the edge of the roadway within this timeframe to avoid having it trimmed by township personnel.
It is important to note that failure to trim vegetation within the designated timeframe may result in the township trimming it back as per our maintenance schedule. We encourage everyone to take proactive steps to comply with this notification to avoid any inconvenience, frustration or disruption.

South Londonderry Township Police K-9, Rex, retired on January 3rd, 2023 after eight years of service to the community. Rex was South Londonderry Township's Firs K-9 officer. Rex was completely funded through community donations and that is our goal as we embark on another fundraising campaign. To cover the costs of purchasing, training, equipping and maintaining the new dog, we are setting a fundraising goal of $25,000. We believe that the K-9 Unit contributes to the safety of every resident and business owner of the community. We hope that you will consider the K-9 program worthy of a donation. If you feel so moved, please mail or drop your donations off at the Municipal Building located at 27 West Market Street, Palmyra, PA 17078.
